Welcome to Violet Town, or Honeysuckle Creek as it was once called! A lovely little place where the team novo grannies live and thus we come down from NSW to stay here regularly, usually caching along the way. You might notice us in the logs of various caches to the north/ east of here. This is a multi designed to break up your trip along the M31 with a nice walk around the main street and a fun hide to test you at the end - will you stand triumphant... or will you crumble in defeat? To begin we suggest you park outside the Violet Town Café (posted cords) and then make your way around the main street to collect your numbers on foot. Shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to do that part. Finding the cache though may be an entirely different story... enjoy!

The cache is just a ~600m detour from the café as you drive back out of town (towards the M31) in a moderate muggle area which is safe for kids. You'll be able to park close with just a short walk to GZ and with level ground all the way -no need to climb any embankments (refer to T rating). Bring your pen. Please handle the cache camo with care. A tool is NOT required to retrieve this cache (see hint if you get stuck) and please go easy when logging your find on-line so as to not inadvertently (or otherwise!) add any spoilers and please do not post any pics of any part of the actual container or view at GZ. Enjoy the hunt!
Thanks to local maintainer BettyBoo3747 who has agreed to maintain the cache if we are unavailable to do so.
